A few days ago, I made an  Bhindi/Bhendakaaya fry to go with rotis. I like to go to this Andhra style  Bhindi fry recipe often because of its simplicity and tantalizing flavors. 

Receipe Process:
Prep time: 5 min

Yield: 3Main Ingredients: Bhindi/Bhendakaaya

Ingredients:

• Bendakaya- 1/4 kg, wash, dry, nip the ends and chop into small pieces ( Bhindi/Bhendakaaya)

• Onion 1, finely chopped

• Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp

Method:

Wash the  Bhindi/Bhendakaaya, dry them, chop tip and tail ends. Chop into 1/2" pieces.

Heat oil in a cooking vessel. Once the oil is hot, reduce heat to medium flame, add the mustard seeds, let them splutter, add the cumin seeds and let them brown. Add the curry leaves, dry red chilies and garlic cloves, stir them for few seconds.

Add the chopped onions and saute till transparent. Add the Bhindi/Bhendakaaya and turmeric pwd and combine. Saute on medium high heat for 3-4 minutes. Reduce to low flame, Saute in between so that they don't burn.

Reduce flame and cook till the bhindi turns soft. This could take about 15-20 mnts of slow roasting. At last make the peanuts into small pieces and mix with fry for few mins before remove from stove.

Season with salt and turn off flame.

Serve hot with steamed rice/rotis.
